Committees of the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board established three committees: The Personnel Committee dealing with personnel issues and the granting of loans, the Audit Committee and, according to the recommendation of the German Corporate Governance Code, newly introduced in July 2007, the Nomination Committee.

Among other things, the Personnel Committee is charged with setting Board members' remuneration and related contractual issues.

The Audit Committee makes preparations for the negotiations and resolutions of the Supervisory Board for the approval of the Financial Statements and Annual Report of the BASF Group and deals with risk monitoring and the internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is also responsible for business relations with the company's auditors: It prepares the Supervisory Board's proposal to the Annual Meeting regarding the selection of an auditor, monitors the auditor's independence, defines the key aspects of the audit together with the auditor, negotiates the auditing fees and establishes the conditions for the provision of the auditor's non-audit services.

The Nomination Committee will prepare the proposals for the election of Supervisory Board members at the Annual Meeting.
